Print is Dead Vol 1

[probablyoliver]

So the new yourcodenameis:milo album is released on November 6th, got it last night and it's one of the best musical 45 minutes of my life thus far. It's not billed as their second album, as it's a collaboration album, 11 songs, 11 different artists alongside ycni:m. There's plans for a volume 2, and the proper second album comes out next year some time.

The list of artists is pretty impressive, the tracklisting is as follows;

1. Greetings (w/ Hot Club de Paris)

2. Wait A Minute (w/ Gordon Moakes of Bloc Party)

3. The Trapeze Artists (w/ The Automatic)

4. I Remember The Summer Isles (w/ Ross Millard of Futureheads)

5. Roots/Branches (w/ Tom Vek)

6. We Hope You Are What You think You Are (w/ Martin Grech)

7. Deborah Bow (w/ Field Music)

8. Captain Of Lies (w/ Reuben)

9. Ordinary Day (w /Lethal Bizzle)

10. Tiny Vessels (w/ Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly)

11. Noah (w/ Lukas Wooller of Maximo Park)

So as you can see; it's a pretty mixed bag! Early favourites are Captain of Lies, Tiny Vessels and I Remember the Summer Isles, but there really isn't a bad track on the entire album.

Anyone else got / heard? thoughts and opinions on it all?

How's the Bizzle track?

[probablyoliver]

pretty fucking groovey. back-beat's like a mix between NIN and De Facto and Bizzle's on top form. I'll send it you if you fancy...

Tracks 9, 10 and 11 make the album as great as it is.

Good, solid work, with patches of brilliance.
